Domain Transfer – Image Links

  • Hi,
    I have just transferred the domain of my site and of course the image links are all broken. Is there a place to make correct this so it reads them without manually re-uploading them all?

    Thanks, David

    Thanks Esmi,
    Unfortunately the solution for this issue at that link doesn’t really apply.

    If you have problems with missing images that you’ve uploaded, you need to change the path to the images on every post directly on your SQL database. For this, follow the instructions on Tamba2’s Tutorial “Moving your weblog inside your PC”.

    First of all that link is for something PC based and the further instructions are more geared for something that wasn’t properly set up.

    The link structure for my media looks correct, I’m just checking if there is a way to have them read without having to replace each one individually.

    Thank You, David

    The image path in database are absolute.
    You will need to do a search&replace with phpmyadmin in the database:

    UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE (
    post_content,
    ‘Item to replace here’,
    ‘Replacement text here’);

    Hope it helps
